Torin couldn't deny that he felt he and Eir were quite similar and he listened carefully to what she said on her own upbringing. He could understand what she was saying, after all he'd long believed much the same, he'd held others at a distance and he'd often felt there was weakness in the sort of emotional outbursts he'd often observed... but then, his own sternness had only worked to hurt himself and his family and was not anger it's own emotional response? He'd grown and learned that some amount of vulnerability could be it's own strength... though he was probably never going to be as open as others were. "I've learned that there are different kinds of strength and weakness and a lack of some balance is ultimately just it's own weakness." He said softly. Eir offered her condolences and Torin ducked his head a bit. He wasn't used to that... or maybe he was and he'd just never gotten used to it. He didn't exactly want other's sorry's... he wanted his father back. But he also knew he couldn't take that out on anyone, it wasn't their fault. Still Eir would continue to speak and Torin found himself chuckling softly, he raised his head then and shook his head lightly. "Thank you Eir, but please don't throw your life away for anyone." He paused, realizing how his words might sound a bit callous. "I'll take and appreciate your aid for as long as you offer it but if you find your life taking you in other directions don't feel you have to remain chained to me or my family. You deserve to live for yourself." Talk Think |
